The joint social work and law degree equips students for leadership positions in advocacy, policy administration, and social justice within specialized human services fields. Applicants can submit applications to both programs simultaneously or after gaining admission to the first program. Typically, students are advised to apply to the Social Work School in their initial year of legal studies. The standard path involves completing two years of law studies before transitioning to full-time social work coursework. Remaining requirements for both programs are fulfilled during the third and fourth academic years.
